Trekking backpacks for women
Lightweight, comfortable and spacious: customise these flexible women's trekking backpacks with an adjustable chest strap, removable compression straps or back length adjustment.
Women's trekking backpacks with a special fit
deuter backpacks are available in various fits, one of which is optimally adapted to the female anatomy: the SL (Slim Line) range was designed in collaboration with female mountaineers and athletes to produce comfortable trekking backpacks for women. These are the special features of women's trekking backpacks:
- A trekking backpack for women has a shorter back section due to slightly lower shoulder straps. This ensures that the hip fins and straps fit perfectly.
- The SL hip fins are angled upwards and have a conical shape when closed, which means they fit the female hips better.
- Narrow shoulder straps with a pronounced S-shape and soft edges adapt to the female shoulders and sensitive chest area. The ends of the shoulder straps are narrow for a perfect fit.
Trekking backpack for women – functional & flexible
Walking several hundred kilometres, step by step, through wilderness and nature, always keeping your destination in mind: ambitious long-distance hikers need the right women's trekking backpack for their adventures. It should be lightweight and, above all, comfortable, but still spacious enough to provide enough storage space for provisions, a sleeping bag, clothing or a tent. Then you can roam the Pyrenees for five weeks, for example. At deuter, we design comfortable trekking backpacks especially for women. You can choose the women's trekking backpack that suits you best from a range of features, back lengths and sizes.
Trekking backpacks for women with Aircontact back system
- Good ventilation with a secure, comfortable fit
- Optimal load transfer
Thanks to the sophisticated Aircontact back system, your luggage stays close to your body's centre of gravity. It ensures that the load is transferred optimally to your shoulders and pelvis, allowing you to maintain full control over yourself and your luggage. The breathable material allows sweat to escape to the outside, even though the padding of the women's trekking backpack fits snugly against your body. Our trekking experts have tested the specially shaped shoulder straps and hip fins on trekking tours and found them to be excellent.
On your next long-distance hike, for example, the Aircontact Core SL in sizes from 35 to 65+10 litres could accompany you. The Aircontact X series offers even more volume, starting at 60 litres.
Backpack features that ensure high carrying comfort:
- ActiveFit shoulder straps: Movable, ergonomic shoulder straps follow every movement.
- VariQuick/VariSlide back system: continuously adjustable carrying system to adapt the back length to the individual wearer.
- VariFlex hip fins: the flexible hip pads move with you and compensate for your walking movement.
Ultimate carrying comfort: buy a women's trekking backpack with Aircomfort back system
On trekking tours and pilgrimages, you carry your backpack on your back for hours in all weathers. Our rain covers provide extra protection from the rain. To prevent moisture from building up on your body, we have developed a special carrying frame: The Aircomfort back system of the Futura Air Trek SL ventilates your back and relieves your shoulders thanks to the movable and padded fins on the hip belt. The trekking backpack for women with a pack volume of 45/55 + 10 litres has an optimised carrying frame and all the useful features you need for long-distance hikes.
High carrying comfort on long hikes lasting several days thanks to
- VariSlide system: the back system adjusts the back length continuously to suit the wearer.
- ECL hip fins (Ergonomic Comfort Lock) & lightweight inner frame for good load transfer
The women's trekking backpack that is lightweight and comfortable to carry
When trekking, every unnecessary gram is too much. To keep the load as light as possible, we support you with a women's trekking backpack that stands out thanks to its minimal weight. We are constantly optimising the material to create lightweight trekking backpacks for women that are still comfortable to carry thanks to an innovative carrying system. Special mesh, optimised cutting, new materials and well-thought-out features make it possible to create backpacks that weigh only around 1500 grams: the ultra-lightweight Aircontact Lite SL trekking backpack has a capacity of 35+5 litres, weighs 1490 grams and still guarantees a comfortable fit even when fully loaded. The Aircontact Ultra SL is even lighter, with a capacity of 35+5 litres. It weighs just 1140 g.
The right size for your women's trekking backpack
The size of your women's trekking backpack depends on the length of your trek and your requirements. deuter women's trekking backpacks are available in different capacities:
- Trekking backpack with 35 to 40 litres: If you don't need a tent and are self-sufficient, medium-sized hiking backpacks for women are suitable for hut-to-hut trekking or long-distance hikes with up to three overnight stays.
- Trekking backpack with 45, 55 & 60 litres: For longer multi-day tours or trekking in difficult terrain, you will need more equipment. Large trekking backpacks for women offer space for a change of clothes, provisions, a sleeping bag or even your tent.
- Trekking backpack with up to 80+15 litres: If you are planning a long trip such as wilderness trekking or making several stops, you will need enough clothing, a sleeping bag and a tent. Large trekking backpacks are therefore also ideal for backpackers who are heading to Australia or New Zealand, for example.
Our tip: A full trekking backpack should weigh no more than 20 per cent of a woman's body weight. So be sure to weigh your packed backpack at home. Our packing lists for trekking will help you remember everything you need. A hydration bladder, for example, helps you save weight and drink comfortably on the go.
